PROGRAM FEES

Volunteering is absolutely free, we don’t charge for volunteering. However, the fee that you pay goes towards covering your living expenses while in Tanzania. The fee covers for accommodation, food, airport pickup, staff allowance, and project donation. We are the most affordable volunteer organization in Tanzania. Our policy is to see that the majority of your volunteer fee goes directly towards your stay and project.

****VISA & PERMIT****

TOURIST VISA (for entry into Tanzania)

At arrivals you will be asked the reason for your trip, please let them know it’s a leisure trip. Please ensure you tell them you require a TOURIST VISA $50 USD ($100 USD for US Citizens) cash (please carry a single $50 USD note). Please DO NOT say you are “working in a hospital” as you will be required to purchase $500 USD business permit on the spot. Make it very clear you’re on a leisure trip to avoid widespread corruption.

VOLUNTEER PERMIT (for your elective placement)

As a foreigner in Tanzania, this is a legal requirement. We have already registered your paperwork and appointment for your VOLUNTEER PERMIT $200 USD cash (please carry $200 USD) at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You will not be admitted onto placement or allowed to carry out any work without this permit. We arrange this for our clients to protect them from being unfairly interrogated and to shield from corruption.
